Embarking on organising a funeral for the first time in my life was a very daunting and anxious prospect. From the very first contact with A.J. Gascoigne much of those initial feelings were greatly reduced. A very professional, person centred and sympathetic approach was experienced. All employees were brilliant but I must give huge thanks to John Stoddart. John's laidback, reassuring approach, combined with his willingness to answer any question and act on my behalf at times was hugely appreciated. Thank you to everyone at A.J. Gascoigne, a top class service all round.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for helping and guiding us through one of the toughest times we have ever had. You have all given us great support with your friendliness and professionalism, you have been caring, respectful and made everything so personal, we could not have asked for more. We believe if Barry could have chosen his own send off this would have been what he would have chosen, especially the black and white coffin. Being able to come and sit with Barry and say our final farewells meant a lot to us all. Thank you for taking care of him until he made his last journey.

From initial contact to the funeral itself Jeff and his team were professional and caring. Jeff was able to guide me through all the necessary details after the death of our mother, Margaret Heslop, with kindness and compassion.
Lesley was always at the end of the phone for advice and help.
Many many thanks for all the care taken with my mother.
This funeral director and his team treat everyone with dignity, care and kindness at a time when you are upset and in need of good advice.

I would like to thank everyone at Gascoignes who helped me get through a very difficult time after losing my long term friend, John Bradley. At times like these support is greatly needed and everyone at Gascoignes arranged everything calmly and smoothly giving advice and help all the way through. Their continued support throughout the day was immensely helpful as everything was done in a very caring manner.

Thank you to Jeff and Lesley for their kindness and support at such a difficult time for myself and my daughters and for helping us to put together a memorable send-off for my mum which I hope did her proud. Jeff's dad Alan had handled my dad's funeral back in 2002 and it was an easy choice to return to the Gascoigne family. This time, for my mum, a repatriation back to the North East was involved and this was organised smoothly and efficiently by Jeff. Nothing was too much trouble and Jeff or Lesley were always on the end of the phone for me long distance and then there to support me at Woodhorn

Jeff, Lesley and all the team helped and guided us to make a beautiful send off for our Mam. After her sudden death we didn’t know how to start planning a funeral as we were all in shock. Their care, knowledge and attention to detail gave Mam the funeral she truly deserved and would have been proud of. Thank you so much.
